Night Time is the Right Time - Ray Charles

Night Time is the Right Time

 

Written by: Roosevelt Sykes
Comments: Sykes' authorship is disputed. Melodically similar to Leroy Carr's slightly older "When the Sun Goes Down". The lyrics are likely culled from the vaudeville tradition.

Night Time is the Right Time Lyrics

You know the nighttime, darling
Is the right time
To be
With the one you love, now
Say now oh baby
When I come home baby, now
I wanna be with the one I love, now
You know what I'm thinking of
I know the nighttime
Whoa, is the right time
To be with the one you love, now
I said to be with the one you love
You know my mother, now
Had to die, now
Mm, and my father
Well, he broke down and cry
Whoa! Whoa, baby

When I come home baby now
I want you to hold my hand
Yeah, tight as you can
I know the nighttime
Whoa, is the right time
To be with the one you love
You know what I'm thinking of
Whoa! Sing your song, Margie

(Baby
Baby
Baby
Oh, baby
Girl, I love you
No one above you
Hold me tight
And make everything all right
Because the nighttime
Oh, is the right time
To be with the one you love now
Oh, yeah
Tease me
Squeeze me
Leave me
Ah, don't leave me
Lawdy, baby
Take my hand, now
I don't need
No other man
Because the nighttime
Ow, is the right time
To be with the one you love
Oh, yeah)

I said baby
Baby
Baby
Whoa! Baby now
Oh, come on baby
You know I want you by my side
I want you to keep
Oh, keep me satisfied
I know the nighttime
Every day is the right time
Yeah, to be with the one you love now
Well, you know it's all right
